One potential problem is that a DVI monitor is not necessarily designed to work with a SVGA video source. DVI uses digital signals whereas SVGA uses analog signals. In some cases, a DVI source in fact produces both analog and digital (on different pins) which is why a DVI-to-VGA adapter may work with a DVI source connecting to an analog display. BTW, which Apple Monitor are you attempting to connect? In your case, you have an analog source attempting to provide video to a digital monitor. I’m not aware any pure SVGA source being compatible with an Apple DVI monitor. The P3 SVGA card expects to be connected to a VGA display, not a DVI. On a different note: I trust you’re having fun with your setup in SE Georgia. My Elecraft setup is working well in Folkston and I access it remotely to check into the Sunday AMSAT Net from Massachusetts plus listen around the bands. 73, Barry, WD4ASW Westborough, MA Folkston, GA > Phil, W3HZZ > > Sent from my iPhone > ______________________________________________________________ > Elecraft mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:[email protected] > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html > Message delivered to [email protected] ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
